Second Calling
By Dale Hanson Bourke
Retail: $18.99
CBD Price: $13.99
In the quiet of your soul, you can hear it. Not the
shouts of advertisers telling you to hold on to your youth,
but something far deeper, more subtle. It's a whisper
of "something new." A gentle voice that seems to say,
"Ahh, now that I have your attention..."
Take a long, fresh look at yourself, and you'll discover
that you are softer, gentler, wiser, and more calm than you
have ever been. Now combine that developing maturity
with spiritual passion, and then you'll know: You are
about to experience something bigger than you ever imagined
in the first half of your life.
If you are wondering if the best of life has already
passed you by, Second Calling will prepare you for
the adventure of your lifetime. In it author Dale Hanson
Bourke contends that midlife is a time for spiritual
rebirth and urges women to find new passion and purpose by
developing their spiritual life. She urges women to live
in the present, leave the past behind, develop a prayer
life, spend time with friends, and pass on their wisdom to
younger women.

All I can say is WOW! This book is a refreshing
look at the opportunities that mid-life brings to
today's women. I buzzed through it in a week's time
and came away encouraged about the adventure life will bring
the second half of life.
I turned 44 today and this book came at the perfect time
as I've been thinking what twists and turns my life will
take now that my kids are nearly grown.
Since this book is a bit pricey and I can't give it to
you at a better price from my own store, I'm giving you a

Nice Girls Don't Change the World
By Lynne Hybles
$14.99
Margaret Mead said: “Never doubt that a small group of
thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world.” My
version of that quote is: “Never doubt that a community of
thoughtful, committed women, filled with the power and love
of God, using gifts they have identified and developed, and
pursuing passions planted in them by God—never doubt that
these women can change the world.” — Lynne Hybels
Nice Girls are taught early
that serving God means earning Gods love and sacrificing
oneself to meet the needs of others. Unfortunately, after
living a life she thought was what God demanded, her husband
wanted, her kids needed, and her church expected, Lynne
Hybels felt utterly lost—both to herself and to God. In this
wise and tender book, Hybels tells of her struggle to stop
living someone else's life and to reclaim the unique gifts,
strengths, and passions God gave her. And she reveals how
turning away from her false view of God as a harsh and
demanding taskmaster enabled her to rest at last in God's
sustaining love. As she explains, it's never too late to
discover that who you really are is exactly what delights
God and what the world needs.
Purchase for $14.99

Equality Depot, which is the store of
Christians for Biblical Equality. Your purchase

organization comprised of individual and church members from
over 80 denominations who believe that the Bible, properly
interpreted, teaches the fundamental equality of men and
women of all ethnicities and all
economic classes, based on the teachings of scripture as
reflected in Galatians 3:28: "There is neither Jew nor
Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither
male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus."

This is a small book that I read through in an evening.
It chronicles the life of Lynne Hybels, who, with her
husband Bill, started Willow Creek Community Church in
Illinois. Though she was busy in ministry and family
life through the years, she found herself weary and
depressed. After looking within, she came to the
conclusion that she had spent her life serving God and
people in ways she wasn't gifted for.
This book is how she turned her life around and began
serving in her area of giftedness and how that changed her
life.
This book was a quick, but good read, making you think of
your own life and why you might be missing out on some joy.
I am asking you to purchase this book from
Christians for Biblical Equality (CBE), because I'd like
to offer them the support of my readership. Each
purchase will help support this great ministry that promotes
equality in the church.
